get the word under the mouse in an ms-word document 1235711

[Tamir]

Hi,
Im writing an ms-word addin.
Is there a way to locate and/or get the word under the mouse in an ms-word
document.
I know that I can get the whole range and manually locate that word, but I
hope there is an easier way - I need to do it for each major movement of the
mouse, and thus, it needs to be as efficient as possible.

Best regards.

No, unfortunately the Word application exposes NO events for the mouse. If the
user actively clicks on the word, then yes, you can get it like this:
stringTheWord = wdApp.Selection.Words(1).Text
